What's happened to the Soapbox?

Dominic Burford

I went to have a look around only to find it's completely empty. What's happened to it?

People kept feeding the trolls.

It finally imploded and disappeared up its own alimentary canal. It was always thus: the trolls returned to their natural habitat.

How cruel. The soapbox was their natural habitat.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It's gone, gone gone! :-D ...and good riddance :mad: ...I do miss it sometimes. :sigh:

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well the hamsters were fed up by people ignoring them rules, breaking the wheel. So the hamsters decided that if they can't repair the wheel to run it on, they just leave it broke and by now it disappeared.

It's still there. You can only see it if you are found worthy, and if you have the correct sacrificial offerings.

The more important question is, where have you been? ;) (It was removed)

If we were in the soapbox I would make a joke with what I read the first time I put my eyes on your sentence... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;P :laugh: :laugh:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It was a good place to go whenever I needed to feel like I wasn't being coherent, I usually felt better when I could read some real incoherence. :laugh: I do miss the jokes.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

Microsoft bought it out, in order to produce its next-generation [Microsoft Offensive Chatbot(tm)](https://phys.org/news/2016-03-microsoft-chatbot-offline-offensive-tweets.html) (The first attempt wasn't quite offensive enough)

So its aliment is in it, and it's in its aliment. Do I have that right?

Would that make it a Mobius S**t?

I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Actually it's all part of a cycle, the Soapbox will come back in about 50 years.

I must admit I didn't frequent it that often, but when I did it was usually an interesting place to visit.

Is this a temporary closure, or a permanent one? Is it ever likely to be restored again?

Permanent. I think the hamsters got fed up with the level of trolling going on, and decided that belongs on FarceBook.
